rea opened cold. A quiet first quarter and a couple of dents on defense had the curve trailing zero before the bench even rotated.
The third quarter is where it broke open — brea 2' putback layup (11 pts) (+3.1). From that possession on, the curve never had to be rebuilt the same way twice.
The fourth was control. Brea closed at -4.5 without needing a final flourish to get there.
